great video, today you stumbled over a really fun and collectible toy at 1, 07. That is one of the german firm Technofix wind up toys. History: Technofix made tin toys, comic and erratic action litographed tin wind-ups. The company was founded by the Einfalt brothers Georg and Johann in Nuremberg, Germany and existed from 1922 to 1978. Thanks for sharing with us !

Great toy fair... lots of cool stuff. Those Indiana Jones action figures are worth a small fortune here. lol The usual nice variety of train models and stock! Counting down the 6 weeks until my next (and only) toy show.

I love all your videos! I went to Thamesmead model railway exhibition yesterday, nice selection of sellers but some are quite expensive. I'm getting the impression that up north there appear to be more bargains to be had👍

4:53 1984 vintage. These use the same chassis as the normal one but with an additional motor on the other bogie to drive the cleaning unit. A similar non powered version of this mechanism (on a flat car) is still in the catalog. Weight wise it should be a little bit heavier compared to a normal one
10:05 Might be a full metal chassis on that
10:35 German luggage / mail car
10:56 Danish state railways, the other half should be hiding in there
11:35 Typical European cement car
16:35 Wheel spacing kind of gives it away. Lima did BR80 and BR10 steam locomotives for the Continental market, but they aren't known as a steam loco producer
20:36 Transformer car, might be a parralel import of a Dutch market one (they did produce them with different logos)

Is it an impression of me or are there less train model traders there, than last year?
Anyway, saw some interesting stuff there and a little story since you where looking at that Fleischmann loco 4:37.
When you where looking at that last trader's stand at the end of the video on the shelf, there was a little live steam static engine 21:32, and that was made by a German firm called Doll in Nuremberg.
Before the second WW, Nuremberg was the world's capital city of toy production, due to the invention of tin plate printing in Nuremberg somewhere in the late 1800's, they produced everything there from toy trains to doll hoses, the best quality toys came from there.
There were several very big companies like BING, Ernst Plank, Doll, etc. and these firms were all in hands of Jewish families, some even related with each other.
Now we all know what happened in 1932 when the NAZI party came to rule, suddenly these Jewish families where in danger, and forced to sell there companies to Germans.
One of these scavengers was very small German toy producers called Fleischmann, and the Doll family was forced to sell everything to them.
Thanks to the world wide connections the Doll family had doing business, they managed to find refuge in the USA.
And after the war, the Doll family sued Fleischmann for this hostile takeover, and the Doll family won that trail.
But the Doll family didn't want to move back to Germany after all what happened, so Fleischmann and the Doll Family came to an agreement, where the Doll family would get 50% of the Fleischmann shares, and stayed in the USA as a silent partner of the Fleischmann company.
So in the end some justes was done, but unfortunately the jewish toy producers of Nuremberg never came back…
Some sad history we never must forget.
Cheers,
Danny

Will you put those car's down, one or to good prices there. Thankyou you both for showing us round.

[harrygleed]

Hi Pauline and Rick, really enjoyed this video, especially the Fleishmann Br218. A good mix of ho, oo and n plus cars and of course Pez 😂.
Are you planning an n gauge layout ? English or European?

Wow what a Toy Fair that was, I was weeping at some of the low cost prices there in Buxton compared to the over the top, excessively high prices demand for the same things here in the South, somethings here are over 300% higher, and totally ridiculous, traders down here charge the earth for some models, at prices I wouldnt pay no matter how much I want a particular model.

Anyway - some useless info for you - Top Link Coaches, Hornby - I was working at Hornby up until closure and everything went overseas, not much ideal job, buy nevervrxpectrd to get made redundant off the real railway, 1 week before I got remarried.

It's was all a gimmick at Hornby, the only thing that was different from a Top Link Coach from a standard coach, was the introduction of flush glazing, they also then began.printing No smoking abels on the glazing and blue first class totems, the overhead warning flashes on coach ends and C1 restriction codes, other than that, nothing changed nor was improved either. Bachmann had been flush glazing their coaches for years.

I think I'll have to try to get to Buxton in March - great video - loved it, thank you.

You missed the real bargins! Hornby Dublo 3rail wagons and coaches going for 2 to three pounds each on two different stalls 😮
